Never forget who we are and the sacrifices, struggles, and soul-searching of our predecessors along the way to make us so. May we always continue to strive to be the city on that hill.
Happy PTSD day! Remember to celebrate this country by exacerbating a vet's PTSD with noise makers that sound a lot like small arms fire. Red, white and BOOM, baby.
After 7 years, my dog has come to terms with fireworks, as long as she's indoors. Still gets scared shitless if she's outside with them going off or sees a drone.
Mine shakes like a leaf and pants horribly. Eyes the size of saucers. Thunderstorms do that, too. He has finally taken to crawling under the couch.
My last one didn't care, but this new one has two hiding places and has been back and forth between them with the different barrages.
A big thanks to the 56 men that dragged their balls into a room to tell a king to **** off while signing their death warrants. That's the biggest difference in our revolution and government. It wasn't done by starving farmers and peasants with nothing to lose. It was done by prominent people with everything to lose by putting their whole way of life on the line.
Late to the party, but I would like to thank all those that serve or have served our nation. Without these honorable people, we would have nothing. Thanks for fighting to gain our freedom against the longest odds and thanks for defending that freedom after it was won. Despite all our warts, infighting and other problems, this is undoubtedly the greatest nation committed to freedom in history. God bless you all & God bless our nation.
My German Shepherd, Louie is terrified of fireworks and/or gunshots. My little terrier mix, Ralph is terrified of fireworks and/or gunshots. He dives under the computer desk. My Basset hound, Barney doesn't seem to notice. He stays outside, roaming the yard like and looking like one of those ole Electrolux vacuum cleaners as he vacuums the yard with his nose.
Basset hounds are the laid back type dog. About the only one cooler, and this is debatable, is a bloodhound.
